    Any other collectors out there pulling their hair out trying to track down all of the newer style Stone caps? It took awhile, but I finally figured out there are 36 different designs. However, right when I thought I'd found them all, I discover there's a second series of 36 more! Granted, many are the same on the face, but the newest ones have the Twitter logo on the side with the Twitter handle rather than the word "FOLLOW".

    Here's the list as far as I know (parenthesis indicate changes between the two versions):

    Stones been pulling this marketing gimmick for many years. I have the first 36 cap set complete and have not even bothered looking for the second set of 36. Not a big fan of Stone products and I think Greg Koch is kind of a pompous a-hole. A visual picture of most of stone sets can be seen at www.crowncaps.info in the CC.I Crown Cap Catalog.

    Fantastic! I'm still missing 5 from the first series, so I'd be interested.

    Thanks for the link. I've been looking for something with pictures for awhile.
